27:15 Dimitri Lascaris on why does BDS Matter ?

At its August 2016 convention in Ottawa the Green Party of Canada passed a policy resolution to become the first (and only) party with representation in the House of Commons to publicly support elements of the Palestinian-led call for boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) to pressure Israel to respect international law, and oppose efforts to “prohibit, punish or otherwise deter expressions of support for BDS.” DIMITRI LASCARIS was the author and submitter of the Green Party resolution on “Palestinian Self-Determination and the Movement for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” and was justice critic in the Green Party of Canada Shadow Cabinet before he was removed in September by leader Elizabeth May. Dimitri will preview a public event Friday evening in Vancouver, A Town Hall Discussion about Illegal Occupation.

52:00 Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun on #RenameBC

(**starts poor audio quality but improves)

How would you rename BC? Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, an artist of Coast Salish and Okanagan descent, believes we should rename British Columbia. Share your idea for a new name! www.renamebc.ca

Yuxweluptun, an artist of Coast Salish and Okanagan descent, graduated from the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in BC. Influential as both artist and activist, Yuxweluptun merges traditional iconography with representations of the environment and the history of colonization, resulting in his powerful, contemporary imagery; his work is replete with masked fish farmers, super-predator oil barons, abstracted ovoids, and unforgettable depictions of a spirit-filled, but now toxic, natural world. Highly respected locally, Yuxweluptun’s work has also been displayed in numerous international group and solo exhibitions

EVENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

SFU Surrey Indigenous Film Festival, Friday, Oct 21, 8:30am-4:30pm, FreeWhile Indigenous people have been a central focus of filmmakers since Edison first filmed Sioux ghost dancers in 1894, a recent generation of Indigenous artists have been taking up cameras and computers in order to better tell stories of specific interest to them. Co-presented by the Vancouver Indigenous Media Arts Festival Society, the SFU Surrey Indigenous Film and Media Festival celebrates the diverse offerings by Indigenous film-makers and media artists to create images that reflect their worldviews and experiences. Offered as part of the SFU Masters of Arts for Teachers of English (MATE) program, this festival is on BC’s provincial wide PD day. We invite the public, especially teachers, to attend.
